On a side note, I can't help but think about how recently the Audi S8 put the B7 to shame in the performance figures...

The one they tested with the S8 was rear wheel drive and did 0-60 in 4.3 seconds and the S8 did it in 3,7 sec. But the one in this video has xdrive(allrad) and did it in 3.8 seconds so i would say they are pretty close.
